Nearly 30 artists were announced as performers, including Jelly Roll, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band, and so many more. One of the performances we were excited to see was Ashley McBryde. She always knows how to bring it at award shows!

Ashley was up for three awards

At the 2023 CMA Awards, Ashley was up for three awards – Music Video of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year for Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville.

At the time of her performance, McBryde’s two of her categories had not been given out yet. Music Video of the Year went to HARDY and Lainey Wilson for their song “wait in the truck.”

Ashley McBryde released “Light On In The Kitchen” on February 24, 2023

The song was released on February 24, 2023 as the lead single for her album The Devil I Know, which she dropped on September 8, 2023. The song, which she co-wrote with Jessi Alexander and Connie Harrington, was inspired by the wisdom that the women in her family have passed down.

She took the stage, which was adorned with beautiful lights that you can picture being on at many homes, and sang her incredible song. She sang with such meaning that she had many in the audience tearing up.

McBryde even had her own mother in the music video.
